KANGANA RANAUT'S NEXT WILL BE A SPORTS FILM! CHECK OUT THE DIRECTOR HERE!

Popular director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari debuted in Bollywood with Nil Battey Sannata, and followed it up with Amma Kanakku, the Tamil remake of the same.

She received much acclaim for the aforementioned films and directed her third venture, Bareilly Ki Barfi in 2017. Post this, we had recently reported that her next film will be about Kabaddi and family values.

The official announcement on her next is now out. The Kabaddi film has been titled as Panga, and Kangana Ranaut will be playing the lead.

Ashwiny took to Twitter and shared this news as she tweeted, "My existing reality is a reflection of my dear ones belief in me. From the team backed by its families. Presenting 'Panga' with Kangana Ranaut, Jassi Gill, Neena Gupta. Produced by Fox Star Hindi. In cinemas in 2019,"

GROUPS PROTEST AGAINST THIS UPCOMING MOVIE EVEN BEFORE START OF SHOOT!

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is, as the title suggests, about the Rani Laxmibai, the famous queen who ruled Jhansi. The film is biographical, and thus has invited surveillance and attack by groups which have started opposing it even before its principal filming.

According to reports, the state president of a right-wing fringe outfit called Sarva Brahmin Mahasabha (one of such groups) has claimed that the filmmakers have been shooting a love song featuring Kangana and a British person playing the role of an agent of the East India Company.

Alleging that it distorts historical facts, he has asked that the government of Rajasthan to halt the film's shoot, and ensure that such distortion does not happen by ordering the crew to provide an undertaking affirming the same and that the film will feature no controversial scenes.

They also threaten to escalate their agitation if their demands are not met.
